The continued political witch-hunt against Ken Ofori-Atta by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the Government of Ghana through sections of the rented Ghanaian media any time he prevailed in defending his rights under the INTERPOL and the US Immigration laws is nauseating and shameful.

The public is entitled to know the reasons Ms. Justice Akuffo assigned for her resignation to enable us to determine what the government had done to warrant the unprecedented step of a former Chief Justice resigning from the Council of State in the history of the 1992 Constitution. The Government also owes the people of Ghana an explanation for the delay in disclosing and informing the public of the tendering of her resignation.

Every election the NDC has won under the 1992 Constitution has consistently been based on promises to the electorate to implement policies anchored on the core values of probity, accountability, transparency, and social justice underpinning the 4 June 1979 Revolution and Constitution of the NDC: the 1992, 1996, 2008, 2012, and 2024 elections speak for themselves. The NDC’s ability to win the 2028 elections will depend on how the electorate perceives the party’s commitment to these values. It is too early for sycophancy, gloating, and flaunting of awards about successes when one remembers the adulations of the early years of the Akufo-Addo government.

Mr. Justice John Eugene Nyante Nyadu of the High Court, Accra, on 9 March 2026, when the parties appeared before him in the quo warranto application, adjourned the proceedings sine die. The public needs transparent and accountable answers because a Court that adjourns the hearing of a case sine die cannot reconvene out of the blue and create a situation where an already written substantive ruling is delivered by the Judge in the case the same day.

I feel very strongly that when an Interested Party or Parties join the case of Adamtey v the Attorney-General pending before the Supreme Court for determination and canvass the alternative perspective submitted in this discourse, the Supreme Court may come to the conclusion and decide that the Special Prosecutor has prosecutorial powers under Act 959 and L. I. 2374, particularly under Regulation 11 thereof.

I have firstly come to the considered conclusion that the originating notice of motion (the application for quo warranto) before the High Court which purported to begin the action did not disclose any locus standi and/or capacity in the Applicant against the Respondent to have grounded jurisdiction in the High Court to have entertained the application under Order 55 Rule 1(a) and (b), and Rule 2 (1) (b) of C. I. 47.

The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the independent counsel provisions of the Ethics in Government Act. 1978 in Morrison v Olson, 487 U.S. 654 (1988) and the Supreme Court of Ghana may be similarly persuaded that the Special Prosecutor who cannot be appointed by the President without being first nominated by the Attorney-General under Act 959 is thereby clothed with prosecutorial authority for the appointed tenure of seven years.  

Insultingly, as though he was not speaking to the very electorate who made him President, President Mahama had the effrontery to flaunt before Ghanaians the unlawful acquisition of acres of land for cocoa farming in abuse of office under Articles 68 and 284 of the 1992 Constitution as an excuse for the indigent cocoa farmer to accept the government’s breaches of trust on the agreed producer price for the 2025/2026 season.

The objective truth vindicating me on the failure of the Asantehene’s Bawku Mediation came out of the President’s own mouth to the Chiefs of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs on 10 February 2026 and is available on the electronic media that mediators whether traditional or whatever form of mediation cannot usurp the functions of arbitrators or adjudicators in making decisions binding on the parties to the mediation process. The law is the law!

Concerning the unlawful arrest and detention of Alhaji Abagre by the GAF from Bawku to Accra, where he is in the unlawful custody of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) who had to take steps to regularize his unconstitutional and unlawful abduction by moving the Circuit Court, Adenta on 26 December 2025 “praying for a detention order of the Accused Seidu Abagre@Naa Sheriga Kulga II pending investigations, upon the grounds contained in the supporting affidavit.”

President Mahama could have enforced the law on the existence of only one recognized Bawku-Naba as Overlord of the Bawku Traditional Area without enhancing the status of Alhaji Seidu Abagre “as a rival Bawku-Naaba for the Mamprusi people” as no such status is known to the law. The only lasting solution to the Bawku Affairs is to enforce the existing law in strict compliance with the 1992 Constitution and the laws of Ghana without reference to electoral political objectives. 

I believe that no court would have ordered his continued detention merely because he shared any of my articles before and after the Bawku Mediation Report was presented to the public at the Jubilee House on 16 December 2025. It is, therefore, mischievous for any person or group of persons who published the press release in the name of the Nayiri to have referred to any of my articles as the reason for his arrest whilst I walk free.

Ghana deserves a government of laws and not of men. Morality has no place in such a design for transparent and accountable conflict resolution except where the law expressly includes the same moral principles. Unconstitutional state censorship cannot suppress the truth nor be a substitute for transparency and accountability of the elected to the electorate.

The Government of Ghana Statement on the Bawku  Conflict Mediation Report of 17 October 2025 which has no constitutional or legal basis appears as a gargantuan political scam by the government on the Bawku Conflict to justify the needless deaths between 7 January 2025 and 16 December 2025 which in my estimation exceeds those of the past eight years under the previous regime.

The Bawku conflict is a different identity based and intractable conflict which has also seen political interferences under the 1992 Constitution which eventually led the country to the violence of October 2024 and where we are today trying to resolve the same conflict outside the framework provided for such conflicts under the 1992 Constitution.     

Kissi Agyebeng has exposed his own incompetence and vindictiveness as the Special Prosecutor to the entire world in the manner in which he handled the allegations of corruption made by Martin Kpebu against him and the OSP he supervises. The consequence has been the massive public disapproval of his conduct in unlawfully arresting and detaining Martin Kpebu with the draconian bail condition of the production of a landed property in Martin Kpebu’s own name.

The passing of Madam Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (Madam or Madam Rawlings) on 23 October was as unexpected, and heart wrenching as it was most shocking. There was no indication of illness or medical distress. Ghana lost her first and only true heroine of the 4 June and 31 December Revolutions, and under the Fourth Republican Constitution. May Madam Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings’ passing be the beginning of real reconciliation and remorse for the mistreatments of the past.

The whole of ECOWAS and indeed, Africa, needs to wake up to the reality of the times and the intelligence of the youth, many of whom are unemployed, but discerning.  I keep on praying for Ghana and Africa. We failed in our time to take Ghana to the promised land and rather led it to where we are. Africa must learn lessons from each country's military and democratic failings. May peace and reason return to Bissau. I am praying for your safe return.  

The charges filed in the High Court, Accra, by the OSP on Tuesday 18 November 2025 in the Strategic Mobilization Ghana Limited (SML) case has been variously alleged to be a camouflage for corruption involving in one case US$14 million, and to cover-up for the incompetence and misconduct of Kissi Agyebeng in applying for and placing Ken Ofori-Atta on an INTERPOL Red Notice on 5 June 2025.

I congratulate President Mahama for violating his own rules and promises in giving IGP Yohuno a two-year post-retirement contract. This is a typical example of the President’s exhibition of fidelity to his family, friends, and cronies as the core principle of his reset government agenda thus far. We-the-People can never be deceived all the time.
